An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 76

Jodie did not dare to drive too fast because of the dark surroundings. She was betting on the dimly lit environment for a chance to escape. Even if she had to ditch her car in the parking lot, Jodie might have a chance of stumbling into an elevator.

The vehicle behind followed her into the parking lot as she expected. She noticed that the vehicle was a van and reckoned that more than one person was inside the van. She had given up hope on requesting assistance from a passer–by because, at that point, only running into a group of people would be helpful for her to escape the predicament.

A black Bentley suddenly appeared in front of her car just as she turned a corner. Without having sufficient time to avoid the car, Jodie slammed on the brakes. She shrieked out loud as the two vehicles collided. The van trailing behind her came to a halt as well. Four to five burly men got out of the car, each of them holding a weapon in their hands. It was apparent to Jodie that these men were up to no good:

She hurriedly got into the Bentley upon seeing that. Disregarding the man in the driver‘s seat, she frantically locked the car windows and doors.

The few muscular men shouted outside of the Bentley, “Get out of the car!”

Jodie pretended not to hear them. This car is obviously very expensive. I dare them to thrash this car if they are so desperate to get to me!

The man in the driver‘s seat gazed at her with an amused look. “What are you doing, little girl? Are you planning to seduce me after crashing into my car?”

Jodie thought that his voice was surprisingly pleasant. Then when she turned to look at his face, she subconsciously gulped. “I have no other choice. I’ll get beaten to death if I get out of the car now. I don‘t

even know them! Let‘s discuss the compensation for the car‘s damage later. Please bring me out of here for now. Bear in mind that I can‘t reimburse you if I die here!”

That man chuckled in response. “I don‘t need you to compensate me. I only want you to get out of my car now.”

However, not only did Jodie ignore him, she even fastened the seatbelt on the passenger seat and acted as if she would never leave the vehicle. “I don‘t want to! Don‘t think too highly of yourself just because you are slightly rich. Even though I am driving this cheap car now, my family used to own a few of this Bentley in multiple color variants. They were parked inside my garage. One more thing, do not

call me ‘little girl. I bet you‘re not even over thirty years old. Otherwise, I‘ll address you as my dad!”

Jodie was indignant because that man in front of her appeared at most two or three years older than her, yet he brazenly called her “little girl.” Thus far in her life, Jodie had never begged others for help. She would not have gotten into the car if she was not caught up in that grave situation.

Intrigued, he took out his ID card and showed it to her. “All right. You‘ll have to call me ‘Dad‘ now.”.

She examined the date of birth printed on the ID card before saying sulkily, “Steven Jones... Is that your name? That‘s quite a pretty name. I did not expect you to be so old. Nonetheless, you are too young to be my dad, even if you‘re eight or nine years older than me. Please help me out. Look, these people are about to hit your car. I‘m not paying for the damage they cause!”

Steven glanced at the few men outside of the car nonchalantly. Then he smirked at Jodie. “Call me Dad, then I’ll help you.”

She was cursing at him inwardly but was forced to flash a wide grin. “Dad...” Jodie was wise enough to know when to concede. She promised to avenge herself someday as long as she could live through the

mess.

Steven did not say another word. He got out of the car alone and locked her inside the car.

The few burly men were looking for someone to vent their anger at that moment. They charged at Steven with the weapons in their hands after noticing someone had gotten out of the car.

Steven kept his calm and slowly removed his black coat that was restricting his movements, revealing the perfect fitting suit he was wearing underneath. Then he raised his leg and landed a precise kick on the muscular man nearest to him, causing the latter to crash on the floor a few feet away.

Jodie‘s palms were covered in sweat as she witnessed the brawl in anxiety. She was in the same boat as Steven, and they were up against a few burly men. Even though Steven appeared to be skilled in fighting, Jodie was still nervous because she would be sharing Steven‘s miserable fate if he lost in the fight. ! This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Those muscular men were all lying on the floor after five minutes, to her utter astonishment. Impressively, Steven had not used his fists in the fight. Instead, he had merely booted them. If not for the fact that Jodie was in a relationship with Jack, she

would have offered herself up to Steven. At that moment, she was more than willing to sleep with him, let alone call him “Dad” inside the car.
